As part of the Telerob acquisition, the Company acquired a small foreign-based defined benefit pension plan. The Rheinmetall-Zusatzversorgung (“RZV”) service plan covers three former employees based on individual contracts issued to the employees. No other employees are eligible to participate. The Company has reinsurance policies taken out for participating former employees, which were pledged to the employees. The measurement date for the Company’s pension plan was April 30, 2025.

The table below includes the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets. The net fair value of plan assets is recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

The accumulated benefit obligation is approximately equal to the projected benefit obligation. The plan assets consist of reinsurance policies for each of the three pension commitments. The reinsurance policies are fixed-income investments considered a level 2 fair value hierarchy based on observable inputs of the policy. The Company does not expect to make any contributions to the Plan in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026. The projected benefit obligation and projected fair value of plan assets include the assumptions in the table below.
